Disclaimer: I’m not a scout. I’m going off highlights I’ve Googled and what other people have said about him.
Julien Gauthier, who will likely make his Rangers debut tonight, was a surprise acquisition yesterday as the Rangers swapped Joey Keane for him with the Carolina Hurricanes. First billed as a prospect trade, it’s clear this isn’t necessarily about prospects, as Gauthier appears to be NHL ready. While that’s great, there’s always more to unpack.
Gauthier is a big boy at 6’4″ and 227 lbs, which will certainly make the old school folks very happy.
